The Grade Code Maintenance (SHAGRDE) page is used to capture and maintain all of the institution's grading symbols and associated quality points. You can also define the rules for which hours (attempted, passed, earned, GPA) are affected by the specific grade symbol.
The grade codes are stored by level within the institution. Additionally, an effective term is associated with each level and grade combination to enable the user to negate a specific grade code as of a specific term, and optionally, to identify a new set of rules for the level and grade combination. Changes to existing entries are not permitted, nor is deleting an entry if it has been posted to a student's record. At least one valid grading mode must be established for each grade entered.
